Isn't this soooo cute!

Glad to see I haven't been put into exile after my comment

There are some really good children's cookery books out there, the wipe clean recipe cards are the best. I cannot be bothered to buy the mini baking pans because my step-children inhale any cakes that they bake and little, dinky cake pans are totally useless in their case.

no nothing mini here either except the kids play kitchen which they totally adore when we are not having a cooking day - which is where I WAS thinking of the baby TMX.

No exile lol....at least know what they are worth now and can stop dreaming and really start thinking about christmas shopping lol

Oh God do we really need to think about christmas shopping already!!!!

[faffa_70]

lol I have been for a couple of months, have half of it done already 

[CreamPuff63]

oh stop it! I have just gotten thru Xmas in July 

[faffa_70]

lol sorry, I become bit of a fanatic, we are one of those whose house is visible from the moon at Christmas although I don't like the count downs to start too early as that does scare me, just let me potter along with my shopping and planning thinking I still have plenty of time and then I will hit panic stations...oh about mid November 

[Meagan]

I am always fairly organised but we have 3 birthdays to get through first  so can't really think christmas just yet.....

Viv - don't stress about being banned for your comments.  I would encourage kids to cook with the Thermomix

Dani at Kitchen Playground http://www.thekitchenplayground.com/2008/handing-the-kitchen-to-the-ankle-biters/ and Karen at brazen's culinary adventures http://brazen20au.blogspot.com/2008/10/thermomix-review.html (Sorry Karen-can't quickly find the right posts) both have the kids using it and mam_bel does too http://belcooks.blogspot.com/2009/08/cooking-with-kids.html

So, yeah - spend it on real kitchen implements.

Yep first thing I did was teach the teens how to use it and I recommend to all my customers to teach their kids  Mr 4 and Miss 2 are in the throws of learning now. I have always had kids on chairs etc in the kitchen. Mr 4 is very good at making knot rolls lol. They have progressed now and are allowed to touch the TMX buttons under supervision.
